How to Dance Kpop Style 2011

Filed as: Kpop // Responses: 108

Ahh yeah! It’s that time of year again! We’ve done How to Dance Kpop Style for 2008, 2009, 2010, and now, we bring you How to Dance Kpop Style 2011. Sweet!

We asked you to vote for your favourite dances of the year via our Kpop Charts, which we are now using to determine who we will review every week for Kpop Music Monday. We’ve made a full playlist in the video above, so you can watch every video on our list after our review, or, if you want to view them one by one, we’ve outlined them below. Also, check out our reviews for each video, if you haven’t already. Infinite’s “Before the Dawn” was the only one we didn’t review, unfortunately. I wonder why that didn’t get voted in?

Also, as we mentioned in our Teaser for How to Dance Kpop Style 2011, we’re giving out CDs to the top commenters on our Kpop Charts for the Top 3 videos, which, in this case, are Big Bang’s “Tonight,” 2NE1′s “I Am The Best,” and Infinite’s “Before the Dawn”. And so, congrats to NaToTheWak, Eliza Carter, and taecitoff. If you’re one of the winners, please send us an email via our Contact Page using the same email address from your comment, and we’ll mail out your band’s CD ASAP!.

And on that note, here are the top 10 Kpop Videos and Dances of the Year!

I THINK U-KISS SHOUDVE BEEN NUMBER ONE

Aww no dance tutorials? I guess Ukiss was close enough, but come on, I was expecting more pet the giraffe, brush of the spider, make a plane, high five yourself and miss, quick recover, make a birdie, pet the camel, catch some snow, sugar rush, pat yourself in the stomach…yeah that’s all I got XD

maybe we might have that this year 2012 :D SHINee’s making a comeback XD

yea i was hoping it would be more about teaching us dancing but it was still quite funny. Ukiss’s was the closest but i think they should have showed the original at the left corner whilst Martario was dancing and it would be even funnier ^^ plus we’d know what part Martario is dancing.

You guys are totally shameless. I’d be afraid to shoot a video in the middle of a park for fear that people may thing I am a weirdo. I do have a question. In you experience do you feel that Kpop fans tend to be disproportionately teenage girls?

Reason why they didnt make it as a “tutorial”

COPY RIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Any portion of inclusion (even one second) in a video WITHOUT the permission of the original copyright holder is an infringement of the copyright law.

That is why Simon and Martina only LINK the original videos and NOT include them in the actual video.

There are exceptions; if the video is for educational purposes or for research purposes in an academic setting, they are exempt from the copyright laws. However, this is neither. It is for primarily profit as this is their primary occupation now.

Khal Drogo, right?

So I was completely captivated by Simon’s shirt. (Moreso than usual)
“Is that…NOOOOooo, it can’t be. Can it?”
And then Simon turned around to confirm it, and I paused the video to go do my happy dance.
Simon + Khal Drogo + kpop = DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN.

First of all, FOR REAL!? Big Bang as number one for HOW TO DANCE–DANCE being the operative word here–K-pop style? How sad. I just knew I am the Best would be #1. Or maybe ANY group like 2NE1 known for dancing…. as opposed to a group universally known for NOT dancing. Maybe this should be changed next year to “Popularity Contest 2012.” I know it’s not your fault, but these were kinda…. not it. Exhibit A. The dance for Nothing’s Over was much more memorable than BTD. I mean, the shoulder shimmy alone! “YOU WANNA LEAVE THIS GIRL?? HUH??” I laughed about that for a week. (Even Be Mine was a more awesome dance!)

My point is, YOU GUYS, SIMON AND MARTINA, should just pick the videos, like you did back in 2008 and 2009. Those kpop style videos were full of win and awesomeness. And all the videos were legit dance videos. It’s cool that you give us, you know, your fans, control sometimes. But I need ya’ll to take the wheel next year on this one, because clearly we don’t really know what we’re doing.

Second of all, so that this post isn’t completely me being a wet blanket, pickles.

I just discovered you guys, and I just want to tell you how much I love your website! You guys are fantastic, and I can’t wait to see more. Thank you so much for all you’re doing :)

What happended to lucifer?

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_H2AVH7IJZI66NRCACSFO4RTIOY K.

Lucifer was a 2010 song. Shinee was in Japan releasing awkward re-makes of all their awesome Korean songs throughout most of 2011.

WHO’S READY FOR THE COMEBACK!?!?!??! WOOOOO!!!!…..>.>….. i guess i’m excited. (*^_^*)

Shiroki ;3;

The votes counting were a MESS! For real… And U-Kiss’ Neverland was like almost 4500 votes (all the facebook, twitter, voting, blablabla), while Big Bang’s Tonight (dance? hm) was barely 4000 votes. So… How on Earth Big Bang won? o_o
I mean, I don’t know because I stopped voting days ago, if someone can answer me… :/

ajajaja I looooooooooooooove this videooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I totally agree with everyone who has already pointed out that this was just a popularity contest and not about the dances. And that you guys should stick to just picking the dances yourselves. Cause this list… is just so bad. I mean, Big Bang won? What the? They don’t even freakin’ dance! Sorry but you guys failed big time with this. :( Please only let people vote like crazy for K-pop Music Mondays, I really don’t care what is voted for. But delusional fans will vote for stuff like this without even -thinking- or -considering- other options. They’re nuts.
